Guiding Principles



Facilitators’ Support Team Guiding Principals

The creation of learning communities is complex work, requiring a commitment by administrators, teachers, and facilitators.
We increase learning, contribute to participants’ professional growth, and strengthen the school’s capacity to function as learning communities.


Danka- I like these 2 sentences, but they don't sound right together as written. I propose we take out the second sentence or we change it to say something like: "Learning communities are powerful because they increase student learning and contribute to participants professional growth."



The Facilitators’ Support Team is:

Collaborative
· We are committed to relationships characterized by mutual trust and freedom from judgment to improve student learning.
· We are committed to valuing diversity of thought, experience, and perspective to improve student learning
Reflective
· We engage in deep thinking and reflective dialogue to improve student learning.
Supportive
· We practice shared leadership to improve student learning.
· The work we do calls us to make our practice public to improve student learning.
